L'Italiano (Lasciatemi Cantare) + English subtitles

[VWRGTI]

Why doesn't Italy participate in Eurovision Song Contest?

[tatianapapadopoulou]

i love you

[cek128]

an indian version saying "i'm an italian,a real italian"??? please...take that curry somewhere else.

[NorbPwn]

Any variation of this song will sound good, the rhythm makes the song,

With that said, the italian version sounds best to me

[narsaiecho]

Hell no! the italian version is way better and im not italian. Im Assyrian!!! Buts its cool, its sexier, the indian version is goofy if you ask me!!!

[SULTAN007ist]

حلوييييييييييييييييييييييييي..­..أعطوني لايك 

[dineshverma11]

This song is more valuable for Italian people as it is all about Italy and been Italian, were as Indian version is more with dance and good to visualization, i am an Indian and i listen to both versions i like both:))

[mediterranea1983]

@dineshverma11 i would like to hear the indian version, can u tell me the name please

[mandapandaa3]

[ionutzbosulica33]

[kajiloveseminem]

[feministpotterfan]

i know that people are gonna argue with me about this, but i'm entitled to my opinion and you to yours, i WAY prefer the indian version to this. the dance, the visualisation and the sheer feel and sound and aura is more enchanting:)

[atajallipour]

A copy NEVER can be better than the original! This Song is Fantastic!<3

[narutosas007]

@atajallipour a copy can be better than the original but in this song it is impossible VIVA ITALIA

[69dranreb]

Thank you for posting this song and the translation of the lyrics into English. One tiny correction - vestito gessato is a striped suit when worn by a man. My wife is Italian and I always joke with her when she refers to my dresses (women's clothes) when she means my suits (men's clothes).

[Shkenctarja002]

[Eve200000004]

this song is very old toto cutugno wrote it in 1983 and because it was a popular song other country's made there own version's but this is the proper version he sung it in sanremo in 1983and thats when it was released and the song nasha ye pyar ka nasha was released later in 1985 with the 3D film Maha Shaktimaan and was wrote to suit the movie am Italian so i love that song as it represents Italy

[Kawayoporu]

bocconcini and mozzarella these 2 Italian foods..

[Kawayoporu]

My mom loves listing to that song cause she speaks Italian a little bit, cause my parents had moved to Italy from Poland and they lived there about half a year I think and they never taught me to speak Italian A little bit just like my brother and I speak Polish a little bit, not very much as my friends can speak Polish very good and kind of a lot, cause I never often speak Polish to my mom and I have sometimes trouble with memorizing the new words for like 5 times just like

[rossibossy]

actually 'al dente' means ... 'to the bite'...so it means perfectly cook. not less not more....it means that when u bite into the pasta or the vegetables or whatever, that u have nothing bad to say bacuase ist in perfect consistancy for your teeth.

[divedeepinside]

[lorus77]

Seicento means the classic Fiat 600. I guess this car meant a lot to Italians and it' s bugging Toto.

[RobinSpence100]

io amo questo l'italiano canzone!!  Is this song sicilian type music?

[aiace08]

@RobinSpence100 it's not sicilian type...simply italian music

[SAINTCHEZZ]

Since the 1st time that I've heard this song I fell in love, although I'm Mexican, because of that I'm able to understand a bit of the lyrics although not the entired song, but I still luv it!!!!!

[JJolunia]

This song is fantastic!!!! Im from Poland :)

[ttarik2]

i'm from Algeria,and this song as soon as it came out, had crossed the mediterranean so fast ,every body had cought up to it and became so popular .still love it.

[Rheachan13]

I love this song! The first time I heard this song on radio I felt in love with it!! I love the rythm and lyrics!! It's an amazing song! Italian sounds so nice!

Greetings from Romania.

[hoxuansinguyen]

beautiful song

[TheBellicia]

mi piace

[Jo5ue1]

Mi piace questa canzone.

Have you guys heard the electro-dancing version? It's by The Sicilians, look it up, it's great...

[JustOmani]

i love this song too much

[kiulooo]

and today we have Berlusconi as "italiano vero"...a indecence!! The italiano vero is the worker in "cassaintegrazione" who can not make ends meet, but he fight for his family..and not Berlusconi who makes the laws for its interests while is not interested to the problems of Italians..

[rockleevampire]

@kiulooo i couldnt agree any more nor less mate, i aint italian but i agree on what i understood from what you said.

[radooooradoooo]

i love this song sooo much..it's really adorable..i can't stop dancing when listening to it..a lady from egypt

[mcataa]

italiano verooooooooo

[forpss]

top song!

[mcataa]

im italiannnnnnnnn and proud of it :)

[Athenian888]

Love Toto and our neighbours.

[JupitersEuropa]

To much America on posters. LOL. So true though. Even though i am American, I do agree, there is TOO much america. Ugh. But i love this song! It's great.

[hughjass1019]

Indian version better than the original ??????? Some powerful drugs you're on buddy.

Toto rocks !!!

[eajinabi]

Your opinion says so. My opinion says otherwise. Its a matter of preference.

[eajinabi]

The indian version is much better. One of the few times the original is not the best.

[baghdeda]

@eajinabi Is there an Indian version of this song???

[eajinabi]

Yes its called "nasha ye pyar ka nasha" . The indian version and the italian version were sung with two different meanings. The tune is very simmialr.

[baghdeda]

@eajinabi thank you but I still think that Italian version is much better than the indian one.

p.s: I like the indian music!

[eajinabi]

I guess its a matter of taste. Though the tune is same, the lyrics and vocal styles are completely different.

[baghdeda]

Well maybe it's the lyrics that makes you like it. The re are a lot of songs that I like only because of it's lyrics!

[eajinabi]

@baghdeda Actually the hindi lyrics are very typical, nothing spectacular. The style in which Udit Narayan sang it has more appeal.

[lipona1815]

@eajinabi I collect Toto's songs in all the languages, if you are interested, look my playlist. there are much more versions of this song: spanish, greek, french, finnish...

[eajinabi]

Thanks! This singer (Toto) must be a very popular singer in Italy .

[lipona1815]

@eajinabi hi is not a very famous singer in Italy, he is the most sung Italian composer in the world (of those who are alive nowadays). I'm his fan, and I am Russian :)

[kirrans01]

@baghdeda

U shud also consider the fact that the indian version was shot arnd 15 years after the Italian version, so we must have used better instruments... still these copycat music dir's spoil ancient india's reputation or originality... n they call it Inspired.. funny isn't it..

[kirrans01]

@baghdeda yes, Anu Malik has Copied this...

[vltakacs]

@eajinabi Maybe for you, yes. People usually like the version they heard and liked first the better. It is not clever to make judgement in taste.

[fulmine89]

I'm Italian and I'm proud of that!

[miltus87]

Perche noi siamo Li'taliano vero...! that's why!

[pelizete]

Is he singing the same song?

[pelizete]

What does Partisan mean?

[mohaJUVE]

i think it was a political party in the 80s in Italy

[pelizete]

Thank you

[hirzechaefer]

Italian Partisans were the resistance movement in World War II. They fought against the German occupation and against Fascism. Alessandro Pertini was Italian President in the 80s and he was a Partisan during the war.

[pelizete]

Thank you. you are smart

[jimiwinston]

@pelizete was anyone that used guerrilla warfare in the last world war

[pelizete]

sorry i do not know

[kourosh12]

[naseemalail]

i am not italian but i like every thing from italia

[Josapth]

I'm not Italian but i admire this song and now that I have the English version. Not Italian and why? : Well my mother used to play it on a tape among her other language songs. The guy who sung songs in her language also knew Italian! I want to learn the Language perhaps just perhaps. Not sure how the only none Italian in class would feel like. I like the culture too, certain dishes I just might have once in a while Italian.

[kisilona]

Nem is tudjátok, hogy legalább akkora sláger volt Magyarországon ez a dal, mint Olaszországban! Verry nice song!

[Sparklie920]

Fadi and I love this song...brings back a lot of fun memories!!!

[guitarhero199226]

Thanks for the comment, I've changed the title!
